Howard Webb is set to escape the refereeing storm hanging over the PGMOL by flying to the Netherlands to work for UEFA on the side this week.
Webb will act as referee observer for the Europa Conference League group game between Alkmaar and Legia Warsaw on Thursday.
The 52-year-old Englishman will be at the AFAS Stadion to evaluate the officiating team led by referee Nenad Minakovic by marking them on how they perform.
It is not known how much UEFA's referee observers are being paid per assignment this season – if anything – but one former observer told Mail Sport that expenses are covered for up to £350 (€400) per day.
